THE STORY OF 8 Love Gives Itself BY ANNIE 8. SWAN. «) A BLOOD FEUD J CHAPTER I.--(Cont'd.) Peter Garvock was a long, lean; harsh-feAtured man, with coal-black and rather fiery eyes, a thin, but ex- traordinarily mobile mouth, capable of expressing far better than his somewhat slow tongue the emotions of his soul. They were chiefly aggres- sive emotions it must be admitted. Peter Garvock was one of those ag- gressively masterful men who get what they want in this world by de- manding it in a very loud and no un- certain voice. They talked briefly of the event which affected both families, but did not, of course, come to any intimate details until they were alone at the luncheon table, with no one within ear-shot. "So you're not going back, Alan. You didn't care for Bombay?" "I was the round peg in the square hole, Peter, and I daresay they've told you that. Old Mackerrow would, any- way, I'm sure. He was often enough rubbing it into me that my place was at Stair." Mackerrow was the Managing Di- rector of Garvock's in Bombay, and to him Alan Rankine undoubtedly owed what little success*he had had in his attempts to make good in commer- cial life. "Mackerrow didn't say much, but, how are you going to do, Alan? Things are down almost to rock-bot- tom. Wouldn't it be better to let the place" ("sell it," he had been about to say, but something in his cousin's look deterred him) "and let Judy go to Cambridge and make a home for Clqud while he's at College?" kine shogk his head. J Nwon't do «hat, Peter. = It would x:-dudy to leave Stair. She isn't go- ing to be asked--Ilittle trump that she, is! I can't speak about Judy, Peter, she's so splendid!" "She's made a good fight, certain- ly," Garvock admitted. Then there fell between them an odd silence. "I haven't congratulated you yet, old man," said Rankine, a trifle awk- wardly. "I didn't get Judy's letter, go she threw the bomb this morning | instead." Rankine was rather surprised by the quick and vivid flush which sprang to his cousin's brow. "It's all right. These things hap- pen in a man's life, and the quicker they are the less time they take," he added, with a laugh at his own clumsy | wit. "I suppose you'll be busy with Richardson most of the afternoon?" Rankine-nodded. 4 "Then, if you can meet me at the four o'clock train we'll drive down to- gether, and I'll take you to the Clock House before you go back to Stair." "CHAPTER II _ UNHIDDEN FIRES.

It stood sheer | upon the street, and the lower part of (it was destitute of windows, which | gave the front a strange, blank look. { The odd, little, round tower on the | gable-end, in which a clock was fixed, explained its name, Alan Rankine had never been inside the Clock House, although he knew it i perfectly as one of the -landmarks of "the town. When he arrived at the door with his cousin soon after five o'clock that afternoon, he was only a trifie curious, and that merely on Peter Garvock's account. The idea i that the house could contain anything {that would specially interest him, cer- tainly did not ocecur.. The outer door opened on a square hall with a stone floor, from which ascended a short flight of steps to the living rooms. It gave the house rather a weird aspect, but once at the landing a homely and comfortable note was struck. Rankine, indeed, was surprised at the size and bright- ness of the drawing-room, into which they had been shown by a maid, smil- ing consciously, as if realizing the importance of the visit. Two persons were in the room--an old, white-haired man, wearing a vel- vet skullcap and velvet coat, and a woman, sitting behind a tea-tray dis- pensing tea. Afterwards Rankine could with perfect truth have said that, so far as he was concerned, the room held only her! Her eyes had a slightly startled ex- pression when the two men entered, and she looked from one to the other with a glance that was hardly a smil-. Her face, indeed, as Rankine after- wargls recalled it, ssemed gravefo sad? ness. It was very perfect in line and ccloring, milk-white her skin, tawny her hair and cyes. The type was, ob- viously, sc alien to any house in Scot- land that it was small wonder that Rankinep lover of beauty as he was, should be instantly arrested. To conceive of her in relation to Peter Garvock was the most confus- ing thing he had ever met in his life. Peter undoubtedly showed at his best. He advanced to the table, and let his hand fall with an affection and pride, which certainly at that moment were quite genuine, on his cousin's arm. "I am earlier than usual, Carlotta, for I have brought my cousin Alan. He arrived this morning from India His father died this ito a sad house. morning." | Carlotta instantly rose. The grav- ity seemed to deepen on her face, but, {after one startled glance, her eyes did Inot meet Alan Rankine's, not even ;when the musical voice bade him wel- come and offered condolences. "I am sorry," was all she said. "Father, come and be introduced to Peter's cousin--Mr. Rankine of Stair. Mother is upstairs to-day, Peter. She has one of her very worst headaches." The old Professor came across the iroom with his shuffling gait, a book iin one hand, while, with the other, he { pusheq back his spectacles among his air. : "Rankine of Stair? 'That name cer- tainly occurs in some of the old Scot- tish Records," he said, surveying the tall figure with much interest. meaning. "I promise you I won't snarl at him. You may go and talk te father presently, and send Stair-- as you call him--to get his tea from my hand." Peter went, nothing loath. His opinion of himself, never at any time a small one, had advanced by leaps and bounds since Carlotta had accept- ed him. "Carlotta wants to talk to you, Alan," he said at his cousin's elbow. "And here is your tea, Professor. How iare the fossils getting on? Found {any fresh ones lately?" Alan Rankine, not willing, yet in- wardly glad--if so strange a contra- diction is possible--stepped to the table where Carlotta sat. "I have come because Peter sent me. I suppose I ought to 'say how glad IT am that soon we shall have a new cousin at The Lees, and a very charming one?" "And you do not wish to say it. Is that what I am to infer?" she said, with a little, mocking, half-defensive note in her voice. "Why should I not wish to say it? Now you are unkind," he said in a low voice, as he stooped to take the cup she offered. "I am a little over- whelmed, that is all." "By what?" "By you." "I am insignificant, a person of no account in the world except to a very few--that old man"--she added, bend- ing eyes that were marvels of tender- ness towards the white head in the distance--"and my mother---- "And Peter? Surely he must be in- cluded?" She gave no answer to that. "Tell me about your poor sister. Do you know, Mr. Rankine, that she is the only woman who has actually spoken to and looked at me in true friendly fashion since I came to this place?" "I am glad that she happened to be that one," answered Rankine prompt- ly. "But what you tell me is un- thinkable!" "It is true," she answered, and, leaning her elbow on the table, she permitted herself to look for a brief moment into his lean, brown, hand- some ar are aliens here."

They are being exported from South Africa for that purpose. The 'Railway General Managers' Bulletin," of Johannesburg, states that eighty-eight bales of locusts, weighing approximately eighteen tons, were for- warded recently from Kazerne to Dur- ban for shipment to Holland. The locusts will be used principally for feeding livestock and poultry, while a small proportion of oil will be extracted and used in connection: with aeroplane engines. Special properties are reported to have been found in the oil, which is said to retain its liquidity at a very high altitude Ea -- Correct English.

"Well, how do you like his looks, Carlotta?" asked Teter, and his slow gaze became quick and impassioned as it swept over her already changing face. . "He is. a very large person," she answered, and there was a strange note of petulance in her voice. "Does be always take up all the room there is? Peter laughed in evident enjoyment.
